US Roman Catholic Bishops and National Right to Life*** do NOT support Personhood legislation

***CP Note:
Vatican – proxy National Right to Life was formed under the auspices of the then-National Conference of (Roman) Catholic Bishops in 1968 – five years BEFORE ( !? ) Roe v. Wade in 1973, and just three years AFTER the close of the Second Vatican Council in 1965, with Vatican II’s major emphasis on Ecumenism; which is one major reason why Rome’s Hierarchy is PERPETUATING “abortion” in America; i.e., to PERPETUATE the “Pro-Life Movement” which has been for years such a fruitful platform for Rome to promote its anti-Bible, anti-Christ, ecumenism. Rome is first and foremost about promoting Rome. Rome’s goal is to make the formerly majority Protestant United States of America more Roman Catholic. ( And by the invasion of millions of illegal aliens from Central and South America, Rome is also achieving this strategic hegemonic goal by Romanizing America through Illegal Immigration. )

The US Supreme Court has done to the US Constitution what the Roman Catholic Church Hierarchy has for centuries done to God’s Word, the Holy Bible: usurped, perverted, ignored, corrupted and rejected the authority of the written text for its own pronouncements:
The Christian Statesman – “For the Crown Rights of Jesus Christ”
“ Court Tradition, or the Constitution Alone?”
http://christianlifeandliberty.net/2017-02-06-The-Christian-Statesman-Nov-Dec-2005-Court-Tradition-or-the-Constitution-Alone.pdf
November-December 2005 Vol. 148., No. 6, pp. 15-19.
Excerpts [ pp. 15-16 ]:
‘… the [ US ] Supreme Court became to the [ US ] Constitution what the Roman Catholic Church had become to the Bible. Constitutionally speaking, there are few “Protestants” today. Few believe in the doctrine of the [ US ] Constitution alone. Few even know it exists.’
We Are All Constitutional Romanists Now [4]
‘During the Reformation, Roman Catholics and Protestants were divided by a basic, theological question. On what did authority rest? Did it rest on the Bible plus church tradition or on the Bible alone? The same theological question divides Romanists and Protestants today. Rome holds to tradition. Protestants reject it.’
‘In the constitutional realm, a similar question should divide Americans today. On what does the legal authority of the government of the United States rest? On the Constitution plus Court precedents or on the Constitution alone? In the political establishment there is no doubt. The Constitution plus Court precedent are the pillars of authority. This gives the men and women of the legal establishment great power … when it comes to the ultimate law of the United States, virtually all Americans today are “Romanists.” ‘
‘Of course, ignorance permits deception. Americans must become constitutionally literate. There must be a reformation in the way citizens see the role of the [ Supreme ] Court. There must be a people who raise the banner of “The Constitution Alone.” Christians must be those people. They should be able to see the parallel between Scripture Alone and Constitution Alone.’

Personhood is Abolition
– Personhood is abolition. Here in South Carolina, we have advocated passage of State personhood legislation continuously for the last 19 years since 1998 [ History of Personhood Legislation in South Carolina ( 1998 – 2016 ) ].
The current 2017 legislation in the SC Legislature is called the Personhood Act of South Carolina ( S .217 / H.3530).
– South Carolina Personhood legislation recognizes the Creator God-given, unalienable right to life of every human being as a “person” beginning at fertilization, in SC law.
